Two questions:
1. Would this be the heaviest player in program history?
2. Has a player over 375 pounds ever been a factor on the field?
He's only 6'3". I'm guessing he'll play at around 340.

Looked it up. Terrence Cody weight around 375 when he was signed out of Juco by Saban and they got him down to 350. He was 6'5" though.
This kid needs a serious nutrition plan if he's going to play snaps.

That number 99 jersey just doesn't seem to do him justice. Can we get him a smooth 100?

FWIW, rivals has him at 6'4" and... wait for it... 390lbs.

This is one way of changing up the 3-man front without actually changing up the 3-man front.

Welcome aboard Samu.
A question for the recruiting guru zookeepers… any reason why he was not recruited by more power five schools specifically in the SEC?
I hope he turns out to be a hidden gem.
His footwork and speed need improvement. He seems to have a nose for the football but a bit on the slow side.
Reminds me of the old joke that he tackles the entire backfield and tosses the ones without the ball aside until he only has the ballcarrier left.

Have to hope he turns out to be a gem, don't think there's much hiding to be done...

My defense would have 2 guys like this in the middle who take away the middle, and then 9 speedsters in zone. No Mike, no pre-snap reads, no way to tell who's rushing and who's in coverage.
Durkin, that you? Are we going to a 2-0-9 this year?
Yep. It's just a 2-9. You eviscerate the ability of the offense to call plays by creating maximum disruption.
Wonder if Fluffy (comedian Gabriel Iglesias) has any eligibility left.

I know I have only seen a few highlights but dang this guy could turn out to be a real mauler.

Glad to have him aboard!

You can't play football at 390lbs.

That's my feeling as well.
I'll bet the S&C coach gets that weight down.

Hope you're right. Last summer his goal was to get down from 375 pounds to under 350 for his senior season.
He ended up over 390…

Well, he doesn't play for your team, so rest easy.

Great highlights. He creates a huge amount of disruption up the middle, and gives his teammates a lot of opportunity. Felt sorry for the guys he actually closed in on.

That's two more on the way to 85.

On a serious note, have those who've been counting scholarships been including him in the total or does he count as one more?


He counts as 2

That's called "defense in a blender". I likes day!

My best guess is that his weight makes most programs view him as either a project or a specialty piece, as the majority of kids in the upper 300's don't have the mobility or endurance to be an every down player. We are either confident that we are deep enough at DL that we can roll the dice on a project, or we have a specific non-standard roll that we want him to fill. Possibly both.

Big jump in explosiveness from sophomore to junior! S&c coach for a year or two and look out…. The Kodiak Bear reference is very realistic!

We did lose a kicker to the portal.
